Mercury

is the first planet from the Sun and the smallest in the Solar System. In English, it is named after
the ancient Roman god Mercurius, god of commerce and communication, and the messenger of
the gods. Mercury is classified as a terrestrial planet, with roughly the same surface gravity as
Mars. Wikipedia

Venus

Venus is the second planet from the Sun. It is a terrestrial planet and is the closest in mass and size
to its orbital neighbour Earth. Venus has by far the densest atmosphere of the terrestrial planets,
composed mostly of carbon dioxide with a thick, global sulfuric acid cloud cover.

Earth
Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life. This
is enabled by Earth being an ocean world, the only one in the Solar System sustaining liquid
surface water. Almost all of Earth's water is contained in its global ocean, covering 70.8% of
Earth's crust. Wikipedia

Mars

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. The surface of Mars is orange-red because it is covered in
iron(III) oxide dust, giving it the nickname "the Red Planet". Mars is among the brightest objects
in Earth's sky, and its high-contrast albedo features have made it a common subject for telescope
viewing. Wikipedia
Jupiter

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System. It is a gas giant with a
mass more than 2.5 times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined and slightly less
than one-thousandth the mass of the Sun. Its diameter is eleven times that of Earth, and a tenth that
of the Sun. Wikipedia

Saturn

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter. It
is a gas giant, with an average radius of about nine times that of Earth. It has an eighth the
Uranus

Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. It is a gaseous cyan-coloured ice giant. Most of the
planet is made of water, ammonia, and methane in a supercritical phase of matter, which
astronomy calls "ice" or volatiles. Wikipedia

Neptune

Neptune is the eighth and farthest known planet from the Sun. It is the fourth-largest planet in the
Solar System by diameter, the third-most-massive planet, and the densest giant planet. It is 17
times the mass of Earth. Wikipedia
is over 95 times more massive. Wikipedia
